The To Do List or Wish List?

As part of my adventures, I have decided to pen a list of activities I'd love to experience over the next 2/3 years and then share them with you, my lovely readers ;-) 
So running down the items, it looks like more of a wish list than a to do list doesn't it? Ahem, well, a girl can dream a little, can't she?
Not sure if I fancy my chances with all of them but it would be good to knock a few off my list.....

  1. Oh I have a thing for truffles at the moment so it would be #5 on your Food and Drink list.
    I have also tried Bikram Yoga - very hot but different!

  2. Hi Hannah,
    Thanks for paying a visit! I am hoping to do a trip to Paris soon so will let you know how I get on :o)
    Re Bikram yoga - they say that the class lasts 90 mins...is that true?

  3. For the martial art w/out sparring try Capoeira at Malocauk.com
    Really good fun!

  4. Hi Giuseppe,
    Thanks for your comment! I have often wondered what Capoeiria was like..is it martial art related?
    I am a big fan of Maloca's Zumba classes as you will see from my first post ;-)
